Important Considerations

Assign an easily recognizable and unique name for each system. For example, name the system according to its physical location, as in

PARIS-ENGLAB1.

Use quotation marks () around any string that has embedded spaces.

Use double quotation marks (““) to enter an empty string.

The new system name appears the next time that you display the system configuration.
